… ‘Cause I’m coming home again
I’m baaaaaack. Stateside that is. Not five days after I arrived back to the U.S. of A., I am sitting in a car and traveling again. I can’t seem to get enough! Five states away from North Carolina (NY at the moment), I have had some time to reflect on my past nine weeks abroad and the coming thirteen. This post will be a little piecemealed since some of it was written at one of many airports I sat in as I traveled home. So I will label. I hope you enjoy the last accounts of my gallivants before my three-week hiatus.
Airport:
As the summer comes to a close I have a hard time believing all that it has entailed. I have traveled through 10 countries including the United States, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo (depending on who you ask), Macedonia, Austria, Hungary, England, and Greece. From watching the Old Bridge in Mostar to the Sea from Serifos, there have been beautiful views. From meeting fifteen new people to reminiscing with old friends, I have spent wonderful hours laughing and talking with great people. I have experienced many meetings, many meals, and many memories. I will head back to North Carolina for the next month to recuperate and reload for three months in London.
Car:
The last two weeks of my trip were spent eating, sleeping and reading on Serifos in the Aegean Sea with my family. It was all I could have asked for and then some, if only for the delicious food I ate! (Just kidding family, I enjoyed being with you as well.) On August 19 I woke up at 5:30 am to leave for the airport. Twenty-four hours of travel later I arrived in Charlotte, NC and was hit with a wall of humidity. Not twenty hours at home and I left for a weekend at Carolina amongst some fellow Tar Heels. It was a weekend full of hellos, goodbyes and a pierced nose! I am currently on the road, again, but this time traversing the East Coast as I drive my sister up to Maine. It’s been an exciting adventure and I am excited for the next few weeks of boring green money and the eastern daylight time.
So long for now virtual world!
Lots of love,
Lauren
